You can tell the quality of meat is good, and I love anything that has caramelized onions. Then I went to the Food Truck Takeover for the start of the season, I got the sliders again.

A friend recommended the Street Tacos and so I had two a week at Ellerae's. I hadn't had a street…read moretaco before, so their size surprised me. Then I read that they are meant to be eaten on the go and then the size made sense. They are simple - not too many ingredients - and delicious. I should have ordered more! Ellerae's renamed popular and I say that because they took a break to do some restocking and when they re-opened there was a line of customers waiting patiently to order. That is popular and a real sign of good food!

I expected a wait because the fish is prepared to order and a crowd was already waiting. I asked for beans on the side for every meal, they took my number and told wait outside, saying they would call or text when the order was ready. After about 35 minutes with no update, I checked inside and was told it was not ready, so I went back outside. Another 30 minutes passed before I went back in and found the order ready, though they had never called or texted. Beyond the food sitting and getting cold , the rice was mixed with beans despite my request and the note on the receipt. They offered more rice and beans separately, but I waited roughly 20 minutes before leaving. The food I received did not justify the wait or the cost.

In the Sugarwood Center Plaza on Buckley Rd in Liverpool, a new deli has opened in the space that…read moreNifty Fifties occupied for over a decade. The Classic Gourmet Deli & Grill aims to bring that NYC bodega-style vibe to Syracuse, offering rice & meat platters, smash burgers, and everyones current favorite trendy food - chopped cheese sandwiches. I stopped in on a Tuesday around 11AM - an early lunch, but Classic Gourmet offers breakfast, lunch & dinner and you can order any dish at any time. I was in the mood for a burger, and smash burgers are my burger of choice, so I went with their garlic parm melt smash - double smash patties with mozzarella cheese, garlic parmesean sauce, a garlic buttered bun and a layer of borboun aioli, along with a side of fries. Placed my order online easily. Food was ready when I walked in, at the time they said it would be ready. Employee behind the counter asked if I wanted my fries regular or cajun seasoned, so I went with cajun seasoned. Food was delicious. Burger was smashed thin and cooked perfectly crispy, seasoned well. The garlic flavor is strong on this one, but that's what I wanted, and if you love garlic, you'll love this burger. Fries aren't fresh cut or anything, but they are the good battered style, and were also cooked and seasoned perfectly. $15 for a burger and fries, so I felt it was a decent price. The employee there was friendly, the place has been remodeled and is clean and bright and has many convenience style offerings as well. I'd definitely go back if in the area.

Yes, I know we all love Hoffmann and it is sacrilegious to say other wise. But here me out. Owner Tim makes all his menu items from scratch! His hotdogs, sausage patties, and sausage links! Oh, his condiments are all his creation as well. Ketchup , mustard, and relish all made from scratch by Tim! I asked Tim what he recommended I try on my first visit. He said definitely the chili dog. I was glad I did! Tim has a mixture of brisket and pork that he grinds, puts in a casing and then smokes. He than warms it back up on a flat top griddle at the stand. You definitely taste all the flavors that went into creating this dog! Thoughts after the first bite? Meaty and smoke! It's definitely one of a kind when you think of a hotdog. You definitely get that meat flavor with a hint of smokiness. The chili is meat based and sweet which blends in beautifully with the dog. The homemade mustered added a spice with a small kick. Complimenting the spice was the ketchup with hints of brown sugar sweetness and vinegar. Tim was a pretty cool guy to meet. Proud of his food and pretty chill wearing tie-dye and listening to some Dead tunes. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying some more of his home creations such as his shaved ribeye sandwich and sausage with peppers and onions. We can still throw our beloved Hoffmanns on the grill but for something a bit different stop over and try this delicious hotdog as well! You can find him in Abbott's parking lot Tuesdays - Fridays starting at 11:00am to 2:30pm.

I ordered a homemade hot Italian sausage patty and slathered it with homemade mustard and peppers and onions. I also had a hotdog, but unfortunately it wasn't one of Tim's homemade dogs which I was eager to try. The sausage sandwich was excellent. Good heat from the well seasoned sausage was amplified by a nice kick from the mustard. The peppers and onions were nice additions but I think next time I'll just enjoy the sausage and mustard by themselves. The dog was just a Hoffman's fried up on the griddle. Totally fine. Especially compared price wise with local competition. Totalled 8 bucks for an excellent lunch. My mouth is watering writing this review-the sausage is that good. Go try out Tim's, you won't be disappointed.
